DCist doesn’t have to tell anyone who regularly drives Interstate 95 in Virginia that traffic is bad. So we’re going to refer you an AP article that the W.Times picked up saying that roadways like I-95 are reaching capacity. That means that there is no more room for additional vehicles, which means that rush hour lasts over many more hours. Virginia may be for lovers, but at least in Northern Virginia, only lovers of traffic.

VDOT is warning drivers little can be done to relieve traffic on I-95.

Improvements on the Springfield Interchange between I-95 and the Capital Beltway and the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge are taking up much of the budget for road improvements for the region.

DCist would say take public transportation, but way out in places like Stafford County, that isn’t necessarily feasible. But you can take advantage of carpool lanes on I-95. Think about trying the sluglines.
